“There are many new and exciting developments at Panasonic that we will be unveiling over the next several months – the most significant being our enhanced solutions portfolio,” said Bill Brennan, Vice President of the Security Division. “Where Panasonic was once almost exclusively recognised for our superior imaging products, our enhanced portfolio of AI-driven software and analytics enables us to provide advanced integrated solutions that move beyond detection to preventive analysis and business intelligence. This is the new Panasonic I-Pro.”

Panasonic I-Pro solutions on display at ISC East included Video Insight 7.5, a powerful and versatile VMS solution with innovative 3D dewarp functionality, fully integrates the company’s Monitorcast access control platform to deliver uncompromised system management and control with unlimited scalability, and no license fees when used with I-Pro Extreme cameras.

Facepro facial recognition software employs an innovative neural network with deep learning technology offering fast face matching on both live and recorded video; the ability to identify and match multiple faces against 10 million records in seconds; and GDPR compliant privacy protection via end-to-end SSL communications and fully encrypted facial data. According to the company, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) rated Facepro the “world’s highest rated facial recognition engine.”

A new portfolio of Intelligent Analytics such as License Plate Recognition; Vehicle Search Detection; Intruder Detection, Loitering Detection, Direction Detection, Object Left Behind Detection; Object Removed Detection; and Cross Line Detection are also offered in the portfolio.

The I-Pro Extreme IP cameras are available in a wide range of models with up to 4K/9MP resolution, and in multi-sensor, PTZ, dome, and box configurations. Highlights include the new WV-X8570N iA (intelligent Auto) 4K/33MP H.265 Panoramic multi-sensor camera; WV-S3532LM iA H.265 compact dome camera; and the WV-S2570L4K iA H.265 dome camera.

The ISC East exhibit also showcased new remote demo sites, with feeds from the majority of the I-Pro Extreme line-up, as well as the ability to demo Facepro.

For added versatility, the Panasonic Partner Ecosystem includes deep integration with over 4,500 cameras from 151 different manufacturers, and integration with 19 access control partners.
